Gun's A'Blazin' did in fact come into our herd in a "blaze" and took us through an incredible ride as a youngster.
He was without question the best fleeced alpaca that we had seen in our herd. He went on to have a brilliant show career and start his breeding career at only 23 months of age.
He was biopsied and follicle tested by Ian Watt and as of July 2010, is the densest non white alpaca ever tested by or either through him or Jim Watt's lab in Australia, of any in the world.
Although we rely heavily on biopsies for density, we put equal importance on histograms and especially "hand and eye", none of which Blaze has disappointed us with.
More importantly, his production has been nothing less than outstanding having produced champions in grey, black, brown and fawn.
We have our own "in house" EPD system and unfortunately are unable to demonstrate the analytics on Blaze's offspring. All of the ones in our herd have been done to date (9/2015):
Have a look at the data on the his page on the Renaissance Ridge website...the remarkable thing in our breeding scheme is not only that he has consistently and dramatically improved fiber density over the dams, many of whose data can be linked to, but that density has been accompanied by an across the board improvement the differential in micron between primary and secondary fiber, and an excellent SD in each fiber population.
Likewise the progeny histograms support the improvement in fineness, and uniformity.
Blaze has been a powerful influence in our breeding program.

Description
Guns A'Blazin' daughters don't come up on our sales list too often, we hate parting with females that we believe will fit perfectly into our breeding program...but we can't keep them all.
She is a gorgeous, statuesque brown, but carries grey genetics. Mom is a solid dark point grey and Guns A'Blazin' has pulled grey even when bred to fawn. She has proven to be an excellent mother and an a treasure in the nursery as it is not uncommon to see her nursing multiple crias at once while maintaining a healthy body score and pleasant disposition.
Genovese had what we consider an excellent skin biopsy for follicle testing.
Her tests were done by Alpaca Consulting USA;
Follicle density 52.6 mm sq
S:P 11.4:1
Micron primary (in skin): 24.1 SD 3.8
Micron secondary (In skin): 20.1 SD 2.8
It's the very narrow gap between the primaries and secondary fibers, of just 4 microns, and the very good associated SDs (especially) in a rose grey, that we appreciate and believe that it is translating into consistency in her histograms, and uniformity of micron that she brings to the table.
We are breeding Genovese to Dizzy Gillespie for a 2021 cria.
